Knowledge Graph Modulated Deep Learning for Limited-Sample Clinical Data Analysis 文章

arXiv:2605.24162v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Biological systems are governed by structured molecular interactions, where pathways, regulatory circuits, and functional gene relationships shape cellular behavior and disease progression. Much of this knowledge is naturally represented as graphs. However, most biomedical AI models cannot directly use graph-encoded biological knowledge and instead require compressed low-dimensional representations, which can lose important structure and reduce performance, especially in limited-sample clinical studies. Here, we introduce Graph-in-Graph (GiG), a knowledge graph-modulated deep learning framework for data-efficient clinical prediction. GiG represents each patient as a standalone modular graph, in which curated biological knowledge graphs define edges and patient-specific measurements, such as gene expression, define node features.
